RepubIlcans In Council.

The Republican meeting at Augusta, on
Thursday evening last, was one fnll Of
encouragement to the members of that
party in Maine. 1t was one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic Republican con-
ferences ever held in the State, and indi-
Gates that the party is not in the least dis
couraged or In any degree demoralized by
the Government passing into the hands of
the opposition. The party was never
more united or better equipped to enter
upon vigorous campaign than it is to-
day. The remarks of the congressional del
egation, the ablest of its size of any at the
National capital, plainly shows that the
gentlemen composingit, comprehend the
situation and are alive to the interests of
the party, Of business, and of the
people Of the nation, and the remarks of
other gentlemen present from all parts of
the State. place 1t beyond question that
the signal gun of the old State of Maine
In September 1888. will be loud one for
republlcanism. The political trumpet Of
Maine will give forth no uncertain sound
ct that time.

Suggestions Worth Considering

The prohibitory party vote in Mass
achusetts reache s sometang over ten
thousand. 1t is very slight nominal
gain over the st. John vote of 1884. a
number of democrats, disliking to vote
the republican ticket, with no sympathy
whatever for prohibition, voted for Mr..
Earle. Republicans who objected to
some private acts of Governor Ames did
the same thing. The apparent increase
is therefore unreal. 1t would be worth
while for our prohibitory party friends
to set down with a pencil and slate and
calculate when a political party, that
years after its organization makes no
decided addition to its numbers, and is
unable to elect officer anywhere In the
United States, is likely to have sufficient
votes to choose a President. There can
be nothing that so clearly demonstrated
that the waste and folly of dealing with
grave moral issue like temperance &c
its injury IS the thirdparty tactics. 1t

The snow storm in this vicinity, Fri
day morning last, was rather over stated
in some of our exchanges where the
amount at Athens was stated to have
been eighteen inches. The statement was
within one of it-one foot. There was
enough, however, to cause stage-driver
Cleveland to take runners, and he got
along very well until he struck the plains
in this town where he found the ground
almost entirely bare, and was obliged to
drag his sleigh into the village. During
the remainder of last week and the first
of this, there was very good sleighing
from Brighton to Athens. Up along the
river there did not appear to be as much
snow, but there was sufficient to make
fair sleighing at The Forks and above.
